Scope of Work

Electrical 3D Modeling and 2D Drawings including:

• Template Creation & Background preparation
• Fixture placement & Dimension layout creation
• Circuiting, Panel Schedule & Circuit layout creation 
• Assembly  ID,  Assembly  Type,  Fixture  numbering  &  component information  fetching  on electrical fixtures
• Cable Routing creation and feeding information fetching on cable routing 

Electrical BOQ- 

• Device Matrix
• Assembly count
• Component Count
• MC cable Run Schedule & Cable length schedule

Challenges and Solutions

Profab had a tight budget for the development of installation drawings.

• To overcome this, we proposed Profab proceed with an hourly basis to have better control of the overall budget. The Lump sum amount was 31% higher than the actual budget of the project. 
• The first drawing of each unit type was quoted as a lump sum so that Profab could have an idea while quoting their price to the electrical contractor. 
• During 60% of the project life span, Pinnacle proposed to discontinue the MC Cable layout to complete the project within Profab’s Budget.

Though the apartments on each floor were identical in the initial design stage,

there were changes as per the owner’s requirement for each unit.

• Pinnacle proposed for meeting prior to starting any new apartment.

Design validation was required for each apartment as per modifications required by each owner.

• Pinnacle re-circuited each and every load of the building to achieve the optimum load balance and compliance with the NEC code and state code.

Detailed Bill of quantity as per Profab standard for easy installation on site.

• Through diligent meetings and extensive research and development (R&D) efforts, Pinnacle successfully met the client's requirements in the Bill of Quantity (BOQ).

Maintaining similarities in circuiting and switching concepts across the similar apartment for easy installation,

though there were unique modifications requested by the interior designers of each apartment.

• During the electrical circuiting and design validation of each unit, Pinnacle arranged a review meeting with Profab to troubleshoot any discrepancies and generate a drawing that was at an optimum level in terms of material usage. The objective was to ensure compliance with all required codes and to make the drawing easy to install for the electrical foreman on site.

Outcomes

Design Concept: 

• Got a better understanding of the Unit layout and power requirements.
• Got familiar with the latest technologies available in the market.

Electrical Code: 

• More hands-on with the National Electrical Code and local city code of Florida.
• Gained more experience in managing Client’s requirements and maintaining the Electrical Code so the design can be fully hazard free. 

Profab Standard: 

• Got familiar with the Orbit Electric Catalog
• Developed an understanding of the workflow of Profab
